Weighted Composition Operators from H ∞ to the Bloch Space of a Bounded Homogeneous Domain

Let D be a bounded homogeneous domain in ℂ ⁿ . In this paper, we study the bounded and the compact weighted composition operators mapping the Hardy space H ^∞(D) into the Bloch space of D. We characterize the bounded weighted composition operators, provide operator norm estimates, and give sufficient conditions for compactness. We prove that these conditions are necessary in the case of the unit ball and the polydisk. We then show that if D is a bounded symmetric domain, the bounded multiplication operators from H ^∞(D) to the Bloch space of D are the operators whose symbol is bounded.     

Linear relations in the Calkin algebra for composition operators

We consider this and related questions: When is a finite linear combination of composition operators, acting on the Hardy space or the standard weighted Bergman spaces on the unit disk, a compact operator?

     

Weighted composition operators from F（p,q, s） spaces to Bers-type spaces in the unit ball

This paper deals with the boundedness and compactness of the weighted composition operators from the F（p, q, s） spaces, including Hardy space, Bergman space, Qp space, BMOA space, Besov space and α-Bloch space, to Bers-type spaces Hv^∞（ or little Bers-type spaces Hv,o∞ ）, where v is normal.     

Weighted composition operators from the weighted Bergman space to the weighted Hardy space on the unit ball

We investigate the weighted composition operator from the weighted Bergman space into the weighted Hardy space on the unit ball. As a consequence of the investigation, we also give a characterization for the boundedness and compactness of the operator whose the target space is the Hardy space.     

Boundedness, Compactness and Schatten-class Membership of Weighted Composition Operators

The boundedness and compactness of weighted composition operators on the Hardy space H²{{\mathcal H}^2} of the unit disc is analysed. Particular reference is made to the case when the self-map of the disc is an inner function. Schatten-class membership is also considered; as a result, stronger forms of the two main results of a recent paper of Gunatillake are derived. Finally, weighted composition operators on weighted Bergman spaces A²_a(\mathbbD){\mathcal{A}^2_\alpha(\mathbb{D})} are considered, and the results of Harper and Smith, linking their properties to those of Carleson embeddings, are extended to this situation.     

Composition operators that improve integrability on weighted Bergman spaces

Composition operators between weighted Bergman spaces with a smaller exponent in the target space are studied. An integrability condition on a generalized Nevanlinna counting function of the inducing map is shown to characterize both compactness and boundedness of such an operator. Composition operators mapping into the Hardy spaces are included by making particular choices for the weights.

     

Compactness of composition operators on BMOA and VMOA

We give a new and simple compactness condition for composition operators on BMOA,the space of all analytic functions of the bounded mean oscillation on the unit disk.Using our results one may immediately obtain that compactness of a composition operator on BMOA implies its compactness on the Bloch space as well as on the Hardy space.Similar results on VMOA are also given.     

Topological Structure of the Set of Weighted Composition Operators on Weighted Bergman Spaces of Infinite Order

We consider the topological space of all weighted composition operators on weighted Bergman spaces of infinite order endowed with the operator norm. We show that the set of compact weighted composition operators is path connected. Furthermore, we find conditions to ensure that two weighted composition operators are in the same path connected component if the difference of them is compact. Moreover, we compare the topologies induced by L(H^∞) and L(H^∞_v) on the space of bounded composition operators and give a sufficient condition for a composition operator to be isolated.     

Compact composition operators between weighted Bergman spaces on convex domains in ℂ n

It is shown that a compact composition operator on a weighted Bergman space over a smoothly bounded strongly convex domain in ⁿ can have no angular derivative. Also, sufficient conditions for the boundedness and the compactness of composition operators defined on Hardy and weighted Bergman spaces are obtained, for situations in which each of the target spaces is enlarged in a natural way.     

Weighted Composition Operators on H 2 and Applications

Operators on function spaces acting by composition to the right with a fixed selfmap φ of some set are called composition operators of symbol φ. A weighted composition operator is an operator equal to a composition operator followed by a multiplication operator. We summarize the basic properties of bounded and compact weighted composition operators on the Hilbert Hardy space on the open unit disk and use them to study composition operators on Hardy–Smirnov spaces.

Composition operators acting on holomorphic Sobolev spaces

We study the action of composition operators on Sobolev spaces of analytic functions having fractional derivatives in some weighted Bergman space or Hardy space on the unit disk. Criteria for when such operators are bounded or compact are given. In particular, we find the precise range of orders of fractional derivatives for which all composition operators are bounded on such spaces. Sharp results about boundedness and compactness of a composition operator are also given when the inducing map is polygonal.

     

SOME FUNCTIONAL ANALYTIC PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITION OPERATORS

Abstract

This is a report on a number of recent results on composition operators which map, for 0 < p ? q ∞, the Hardy space H^p (on the unit disk in the complex plane) into H ^q. Attention is focused on questions of boundedness (existence), compactness, order boundedness and, in connection with the latter, on relating the absolutely summing and nuclearity character as well as special factorization properties of the operator to function theoretic properties of the defining symbol. Moreover, tools are provided to show that certain classes of operators can well be distinguished already on the level of composition operators.     

Schur spaces and weighted spaces of type H ∞

Abstract

We extend some results related to composition operators on H _υ(G) to arbitrary linear operators on H _υ0(G) and H _υ(G). We also give examples of rank-one operators on H _υ(G) which cannot be approximated by composition operators.     

The role of BMOA in the boundedness of weighted composition operators

Boundedness (resp. compactness) of weighted composition operators Wh,φ acting on the classical Hardy space H² as Wh,φf=h(f○φ) are characterized in terms of a Nevanlinna counting function associated to the symbols h and φ whenever h∈BMOA (resp. h∈VMOA). Analogous results are given for Hp spaces and the scale of weighted Bergman spaces. In the latter case, BMOA is replaced by the Bloch space (resp. VMOA by the little Bloch space).     

Differences of weighted composition operators from hardy space to weighted-type spaces on the unit ball

In this paper, we limit our analysis to the difference of the weighted composition operators acting from the Hardy space to weighted-type space in the unit ball of ? ^N , and give some necessary and sufficient conditions for their boundedness or compactness. The results generalize the corresponding results on the single weighted composition operators and on the differences of composition operators, for example, M. Lindstr?m and E. Wolf: Essential norm of the difference of weighted composition operators. Monatsh. Math. 153 (2008), 133–143.     

Weighted BMOA spaces and composition operators

This article provides information on p-logarithmic s-Carleson measure characterization of the weighted BMOA spaces. Also, the boundedness and compactness of composition operators from Bloch-type space and weighted Bloch space to weighted BMOA space are discussed.     

Weighted Composition Operators from the Bloch Space to Weighted Banach Spaces on Bounded Homogeneous Domains

We study the bounded and the compact weighted composition operators from the Bloch space into the weighted Banach spaces of holomorphic functions on bounded homogeneous domains, with particular attention to the unit polydisk. For bounded homogeneous domains, we characterize the bounded weighted composition operators and determine the operator norm. In addition, we provide sufficient conditions for compactness. For the unit polydisk, we completely characterize the compact weighted composition operators, as well as provide ＂computable＂ estimates on the operator norm.     

Compactness of composition operators on BMOA

A function theoretic characterization is given of when a composition operator is compact on BMOA, the space of analytic functions on the unit disk having radial limits that are of bounded mean oscillation on the unit circle. When the symbol of the composition operator is univalent, compactness on BMOA is shown to be equivalent to compactness on the Bloch space, and a characterization in terms of the geometry of the image of the disk under the symbol of the operator results.
